My construction materials are weird

“Master, what is your suggestion?”

Appraisers have the ability to set prices, especially appraisers at the Merit Hall headquarters, who are recognized by many cultivators.

“The starting price I would give is the price of a One Saint Pill… but this is just the starting price.” The old appraiser said:

“As everyone knows, the Profound Master's Three Saint Pills are the holy product of entry-level pills, without any side effects, and also have the effect of breaking through barriers.

Because of the Profound Master's compassion, this kind of holy product pill is not priced very high.

Strictly speaking, the current three types of Saint Pills, even if they are three or five times more expensive, would still be in short supply.

Everyone understands this; the Profound Master only set the lowest price for us cultivators.”

Everyone understands the Three Saint Pills.

They are currently the best entry-level Saint Pills available.

The old appraiser is right; the price of the three great Saint Pills should be higher, but the Profound Master did not set the price it should have been for the sake of the cultivators.

In fact, this kind of pricing is problematic.

High-end, high-level products should be priced high, so that mid-range and low-end products can survive.

Presenting a three-tiered ladder, with low-end, mid-range, and high-end, the three complement each other.

Selling high-end products at a low price is not an ideal approach.

Selling high-end products at a low price will squeeze out mid-range and low-end products.

This way, no alchemists will develop and refine mid- and low-end pills, because it simply isn't profitable.

If there's no money to be made, naturally no one will refine them, and if there's no money to be made, no one will research new pills.

Currently, the Merit Hall has realized this point.

In the early days of the Qingyun Mountain's establishment, there were not many pills, and the cultivators were also poor, so the not-so-high prices allowed the cultivators to grow.

But in the past year, with the promotion of the Hundred Arts Competition, the three great Saint Pills should return to their original prices.

The Merit Hall has been raising prices for the past two or three months, and not only raising prices, but also restricting the sale of the three great Saint Pills.

Through task rewards and other methods, the excess is not sold through the main market, but is issued to everyone through task rewards and some 'ingeniously established' honors.

This has finally maintained the scarcity and high-end nature of the three great Saint Pills, so as not to suppress the development of mid- and low-end pills.

This is actually a very cruel marketization.

Cultivators without money hope that the three great Saint Pills will be supplied infinitely and be cheap.

But once they are supplied infinitely and are cheap, it will directly destroy the entire market for cultivation-enhancing pills.

However, if they are sold expensively and are in short supply, ninety-nine percent of cultivators cannot afford them, and countless people complain about how expensive they are.

It's a very unsolvable contradiction.

The Merit Hall, as the manager of the Profound Master, has suppressed the dissatisfaction of the lower-level cultivators.

There's really no way, the lower levels are uncomfortable everywhere.

The old appraiser said.

Flying Rainbow understood this sentence.

That is, if the output is large, it can be priced according to the price of the Three Saint Pills, but if the output of Pure Yang Water is very small, then it should be three times, five times, or even ten times that price.

It depends on the amount of output.

“Thank you, Elder, I understand, I will discuss it with the Queen when I get back.” After thanking the old appraiser, she turned to the fellow Daoists who were asking for the price and said:

“Thank you for your support, fellow Daoists.

We will take out a certain amount of Pure Yang Water as soon as possible, and we will also set the appropriate price according to the output.

At that time, I hope you fellow Daoists will support us more.”

She also said: “In addition, I also hope that you fellow Daoists will promote it more.

No matter what, I will sell it to everyone at 90% of the price three times, as a token of appreciation and publicity fee.”

“Fellow Daoist Flying Rainbow is generous, rest assured, we will definitely promote such a good thing.”

“Yes, the old appraiser has said so, we trust the Merit Hall, we will definitely promote it more, I have many friends…”

“Definitely, definitely, Fellow Daoist Flying Rainbow, this is my contact information.”

“Fellow Daoist Flying Rainbow, this is mine…”

“……”

Everyone present left their contact information.

Three sales at 90% of the price, no matter what, they would benefit.

Whether for personal use or for external sales.

“Thank you, everyone, thank you.”

Flying Rainbow thanked everyone generously.

How should I put it?

The cultivators of Qingyun Mountain or most of the cultivators in Nanshi are very broad-minded and generous.

You can also think of it as a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, all of them are legendary figures.

This kind of legend is not only about cultivation and talent, but also about a generous personality, a broad-minded demeanor, etc.

Perhaps influenced by what they see and hear every day are legendary figures with a broad-minded demeanor, so the cultivators of Qingyun Mountain or Nanshi are very broad-minded and generous.

It may also be that the source, Profound Yellow, is like this.

Under his leadership, his disciples naturally moved closer to him, either imitating the Profound Master's demeanor, or unknowingly changing their personality, following the Profound Master's personality.

This led to an ordinary woman, because she met the Queen and discovered an opportunity to rise, and then showed a broad-minded demeanor.

Perhaps the cultivators of Qingyun Mountain and Nanshi all have this kind of demeanor and broad-mindedness, but they just don't have a stage to display it.

And once they have a stage, this demeanor and broad-mindedness will naturally appear.

Flying Rainbow, this woman, is the most obvious.

After making a very generous decision, everyone naturally felt that she was the next rising star cultivator.

Or it was the Queen behind the scenes who decided, and Flying Rainbow was just doing what the Queen said.

But more people are inclined towards Flying Rainbow.

Because Qingyun Mountain cultivators are very good at 'discriminating'.

They don't think that a small native can have such a broad-minded demeanor.

What about the Queen?

The Queen is just like that in Qingyun Mountain.

Any of the Qingyun Mountain people who go to other places are destined to have a “king's future,” right?

Confidence is why they are strong.

“Elder, can I request to see Vice-Manager Xia Qing? I would like to cooperate with the Merit Hall?” Flying Rainbow said again.

In fact, whether it was selling to the cultivators present at 90% of the price three times, or asking to meet Xia Qing.

It was all Flying Rainbow's own decision.

She was also gambling, gambling that the Queen would not be angry and would trust her decision.

What if the Queen didn't trust her when she got back, or complained about her?

Flying Rainbow might be very uncomfortable.

She was really doing this for the Queen's sake.

You are a non-pure human mermaid, you are very beautiful and seductive.

But these things don't work in Qingyun Mountain.

The cultivation of cultivators is actually a kind of evolution, the more evolution, the more perfect the state.

Some cultivators with high cultivation can be said to have rough, tall, and mighty characteristics due to their personality and Dao heart.

But you can't say he's ugly.

Every powerful cultivator, even if he wasn't good-looking before, will gradually become perfect due to the improvement of his cultivation.

This is the least noteworthy ability of the Profound Master's Three Fundamental Laws.

What's more, in the Three Fundamental Laws that are only about the mind and will, the mind and will are fundamental.

The mind and will yearn for perfection, so it reflects the appearance and form of reality, thus perfecting the mind and will from the inside out.

Therefore, charm and allure don't work, and also because you are not a pure human, they naturally think you are not good.

The proud Qingyun Mountain cultivators have always had very hard knees.

They never believe that foreign monks can chant scriptures well, they don't believe that foreigners are superior, and they even sigh that you are a barbarian.

The external cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit is also a manifestation of the Three Fundamental Laws.

This leads to everyone being curious about mermaids at the beginning, and even liking them a little.

But if time goes on, and the curiosity is gone, they will feel uncomfortable because they are not pure humans, and they will reject them in their hearts, even if they don't say it.

She needs to find a powerful backer for the mermaid.

This backer is best the Merit Hall.

That is, paying protection fees, selling the Holy Water only in the Merit Hall, and then giving the Merit Hall 20% of the commission.

With 20% of the protection fee, no one would dare to cause them trouble.

The Four Great and Eight Small of Qingyun Mountain are easy to deal with, because they are in the sun, so they don't dare to use small tricks.

But as someone who has been mixing in Nanshi for a long time, she knows too well the ruthlessness of some small forces or individual cultivators.

A mermaid without protection, unless she is strong and self-reliant, otherwise too many benefits will definitely attract trouble.

Self-reliance is impossible.

In these three days, Flying Rainbow has learned a little about mermaids.

How should I put it…?

A little timid, afraid of trouble, very fond of peace, and weak in cultivation…

These characteristics, which can be seen at a glance, are really difficult to gain a foothold in Qingyun Mountain.

For the sake of her sister, the Mermaid Queen, Flying Rainbow is also worried.

The old appraiser smiled slightly when he heard Flying Rainbow's inquiry, and became even more optimistic about this woman.

Even because of his profession, he is too good at observing words and expressions or appraising things.

Appraising people's hearts is also appraisal.

The Profound Master said that nothing is impossible, no matter what kind of cultivation, don't imprison yourself, and have a broad-minded demeanor with infinite Dao.

From Fei Hong's performance, he could see that this was Fei Hong's own choice, and the so-called Queen was unaware.

"How do you want to cooperate?" the old appraiser asked.

"This is what I'm thinking. Pure Yang Water has the effect of condensing and purifying mana for any system. Such an important thing…

It is more suitable for the Merit Hall to sell with foresight. After all, we know little and our cultivation is low. We might be able to earn points by selling it ourselves.

But just earning points is too small-minded and does not conform to what Master Xuan taught: [Learn my Tao, love all beings].

A simple local tyrant with a lot of points is not what the Queen and I want.

We want to cooperate with the Merit Hall and, under the guidance of the Merit Hall, sell Pure Yang Water to the outside world more rationally, as a small effort for the cultivation world."

Upon hearing this, the old appraiser said in an instructive tone: "You, ah, you, too formalistic, a bit sanctimonious. But…"

His tone changed: "However, your starting point is good. Whether it's for self-preservation or sincerity, let's temporarily judge the deed and not the intention, but as an old man, I'll say a few words to you."

"Please speak, senior," Fei Hong said in a teachable manner.

"Your current seemingly grand scheme is actually not wrong. Being weak, it's okay to do it for survival.

But in the future, as your cultivation gradually increases, this won't work. The three fundamental laws are only mind and only intention. In the future, you must establish an unwavering Dao heart, and less small calculations and sanctimony…

It may be difficult for you to understand now, but I, an old man, have high hopes for you, girl. You will understand in the future."

Without a mistake, a poem, a hair, an inner, a tolerance, a presence, a look!

What the old appraiser said was confusing, and Fei Hong had some insights, but not many.

What the old appraiser said was that her cultivation was not enough, and she had not reached the level of firm Dao heart.

The current Fei Hong is just struggling at the bottom.

"This junior is grateful for the teachings," Fei Hong said.

Upon seeing this, the old appraiser smiled and said: "I think the plan you just mentioned is feasible. Please wait a moment, I'll report to Vice-General Manager Xia Qing."

"Yes."

The old appraiser turned around and walked into the inner courtyard of the Merit Hall.

After a while, he walked out with a smile.

"Vice-General Manager Xia has agreed, please go inside to discuss it," the old appraiser said.

"Phew!"

Fei Hong breathed a sigh of relief, a perfect start.

… … … …

"Fellow Daoist Fei Hong, Fellow Daoist Fei Hong."

Rosaliva in the dream realm, like a fragile woman waiting for her husband to return, was truly looking forward to seeing Fei Hong.

After all, Fellow Daoist Fei Hong carries the hope of her Mermaid Kingdom.

"Rosaliva has been appraised…"

Immediately, Fei Hong described the function of the holy water to Rosaliva.

"That is to say, this is the Pure Yang Water recognized by the cultivation world, and for you, it is the holy water that allows you to conceive naturally after drinking it. The old appraiser said that this is not the ability of the water, but the ability of your bloodline inheritance. It seems that your Mermaid Goddess once made some kind of effort."

"Ah?"

The Queen was confused for a while.

She didn't understand at all, and she couldn't figure it out. Who would study the holy water before.

Holy water, holy water, is holy water.

You can drink it, so isn't studying the holy water blasphemy against divine power?

"I see."

Even though the Queen's imprisoned thinking has been broken in the past few days, many incomprehensible miracles still shocked her.

I have to sigh at the power of the cultivators under the original god. They don't have this spirit of research and exploration.

In that case, her Mermaid Kingdom is far behind.

Not only must they learn the laws of the original god, but also the spirit of the original god.

"You have to change, Rosaliva! You are the Queen, you know?"

Fei Hong felt a little that this sister was too useless when she saw Rosaliva falling into shock and cuteness again.

You are the Queen, how can you behave like an ignorant girl?

"I, I will," Rosaliva said softly.

In fact, she felt that she was still very queen in front of her people, but after experiencing the visit of the original god and entering the dream world to see the powerful human cultivators, she was at a loss.

They are not the people she is familiar with, and everyone is a strong person, so she can't be a queen, she will be beaten.

"Rosaliva, I don't know how your people are. But if you want to integrate into Xuan Shi, that is, the subordinates of the original god you mentioned, you have to change, your kingdom also has to change, you have to stand up, sister?"

"When you are weak, you have to be more fierce and a little bit shrewish, don't be like an ignorant girl… Maybe what I said is a bit heavy, but you know, I am doing it for your own good."

"Fei Hong, I know, I know you are doing it for my own good. My mother used to be like you. She always taught me—(Rosaliva, you are the future Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom)…"

The Queen fell into reminiscing about her mother's teachings.

Fei Hong…

Fei Hong thought: Could it be that the lack of paternal love led to incomplete personality?

Thinking about it, it is also true that a kingdom of women seems to make sense with some shortcomings.

It seems that she not only has to change the Queen, but also her kingdom.

So challenging.

"I promised the fellow Daoists who were present at the time… Doing so is for publicity and to show our magnanimity… I also bound myself to the Merit Hall… This is to find an umbrella when we are weak…"

"Yes, you are right. We are too weak, so we must submit to the strong, especially the management agency created by the original god. Everything I have and everything my kingdom has belongs to the original god. Is it too little to give 20%?"

The Queen accepted without any grudges.

Fei Hong:…

I always feel that I am worrying for nothing.

She is also a woman, why does she always feel that the Queen is her weak girlfriend?

Fei Hong tried her best to persuade the Queen, saying that 20% was not a small amount.

You are the supreme original god, my beloved Master Xuan, you will not care whether you have 20% or 50%.

Master Xuan has never asked for rewards from his disciples or believers.

The best way for you to repay Master Xuan is to lead your Mermaid Kingdom to rise, which is the greatest respect for Master Xuan.

The Queen sighed again at the impartiality of the original god.

The two discussed the pricing issue again. Holy water, that is, Pure Yang Water, cannot be supplied without limit.

"I can only take out 10% of the share for sale, and more will affect the fertility of our kingdom," the Queen said after thinking about it.

"How much will it affect?" Fei Hong asked.

"It's not too big. I'm afraid that the people who want to have children will not have the opportunity to have children," the Queen said.

Fei Hong couldn't help but ask: "Will it lead to a significant decline in your population?"

Queen: "No, after all, you don't have to have children now."

Fei Hong:…

"Sister, what time is it, and you are still thinking about having children? Focus on your career, focus on your career! If you don't have strong strength, what are you doing with so many children?"

Queen: "Then, how much should I take out?"

"Take as much as you have. What will happen if you don't have children for a year and a half?"

Queen: "Ah, this?"

"It's decided. Also, although my cultivation is low and I don't understand the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, there must be a problem with your kind. It is self-weakening."

Then he said, "… No offense, I don't think your former goddess is as strong as Master Xuan.

Look… the weirdness is resurrected and your goddess is gone, but Master Xuan is still rising as usual?

This shows that your goddess is not as good as Master Xuan. Master Xuan is emphasizing the way of Yin and Yang cycle, and I am not optimistic about your disobedience."

The Queen suddenly didn't know what to say.

The Mermaid Goddess is not only her former god, but also her ancestor.

But the original god is her newly recognized protector, so she can't answer.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss with my people how much we can take out, and then set the points for external sales based on the quantity," the Queen said.

"Well, let's do it this way. You go back and discuss it as soon as possible. To be honest…" Fei Hong said: "After all, you are isolated overseas and not safe. It is the kingly way to strengthen yourself as soon as possible."

"Well, I think so too. If the original god hadn't suddenly defeated a strange sea area, and we were lucky enough to detect it, otherwise, our entire kingdom would have continued to hide and pray that nothing would happen.

According to what the Qingyun Mountain cultivator said, this is the behavior of a shrinking turtle, and it is not advisable," the Queen said.

"It's good that you can think like this, you have to work hard, Queen," Fei Hong said with great relief.

"I know, sister, I'm going back," the Queen said with a rare bit of motivation.

"Okay."

… …

PS: Say goodbye to the late year.

Our Shandong hometown is very busy visiting relatives during the New Year. To be honest, I have been drinking since New Year's Eve, twice a day, I really am…

The recent updates are extremely unstable. I apologize and will work hard after the New Year.
